Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

After Covid, many students I work with have shown a larger struggle with math content. Students at my school are supported with these struggles by receiving math intervention. This provides students the ability to work in small groups to focus on specific skills they may not have learned through remote lessons.

Math can often be overwhelming, especially for students who already struggle with the material.

Instead of providing extra practice with pages of problems, students have worked at a more focused level by doing activities that break down skills and assignments into smaller chunks. In my math intervention, students are given task card activities that are geared to what they need the most help with. Each level of card is color coded to show students' progression through the standards.
